Phil:
Why don't you use a compass with your protractor and shadow? That will get
you within anywhere between 0 and about 10 degrees, depending on your location
in Texas. You can measure the angle from Magnetic North to the shadow line and
get a pretty good idea. Most compasses will have bearing information on them
in degrees to easily calculate the bearing.
Another way to do it is with a GPS. Set a way-point at one end of the
beverage, walk to the other end and the GPS should tell you the bearing and
distance with respect to True North. This might be easier to do if you have
access to a GPS unit.
